Stewart, Angus

Sandel --by Angus Stewart
London: Hutchinson, 1968, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. ----------hardcover, a Very Good+ copy, some offset to endpapers from dustjacket flaps, in a bright Very Good price clipped dustjacket, scarce, "Angus Stewart has tackled the complexities of adolescent homosexual love with remarkable understanding and control --- the writing is always intelligent, its sensual quality surprisingly beautiful.", from the jacket flap ---Sandel is an exceptional novel of remarkable insights into the psychological upheaval of adolescent love. Antony Sandel, the boy soprano soloist at St. Cecilia's, Oxford, is possessed of a unique voice which, on the verge of breaking, seems momentarily to gather up all its resources and gains an astonishing tonal range. Sandel, disturbed by the publicity this phenomenon attracts, knows that the moment of glory must necessarily be brief, and the intuitive perception of his thirteen year-old mind fears the aftermath of eclipse and extinction. In this first adolescent awareness of the sting which hurrying mutability imparts he turns to Rogers, a Cecilia's undergraduate who is mesmerised by his beauty, and a fierce, mutually protective love springs up between the two as a result. Sandel explores frankly and in depth-yet at the same time with the deft relief of gentle humour-the intense, brief and necessarily tragic incandescence of this relationship, which must take the voice as its true symbol and inevitably break. Angus Stewart, winner of the Richard Hillary Award in 1965, has achieved a remarkable testimony to the immense difficulties such a relationship involves, and the harrowing sacrifices, where love must be of such integrity that it will not violate innocence yet must keep faith with trust. Sandel is a first novel of unusual power which reveals the author as a writer of exceptional promise", any image directly beside this listing is the actual book and not a generic photo.
